Chapter 229: Making More Cold Cakes

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Aunt Wang and Li Juanzi received them warmly.

The scholars happily enjoyed the cold cakes.

Liu Shi’s Eatery was once again bustling.

During the peak lunch period, there were many scholars and passers-by who came in, but even so, the number of cold cakes sold could not be compared to that during the morning rush hour.

That was not surprising, as there were fewer people having them to-go.

At the end of the day, there were finally no more customers in the shop.

Lin Xiaoyue then went to Mr. Qin’s restaurant next door to order food, and everyone had lunch in the restaurant.

After the meal, Lin Xiaoyue went to the back to count the remaining buckets of cold cakes, then called Li Xiao, and they prepared to go back to Dashi Village.

The weather was hot, so there might not be any business in the afternoon.

But in the evening, there should be another wave of customers.

Moreover, the night market on Qingyun Street was also very lively at night.

The cold cakes made by Wang Erya and Aunt Jiang might not be enough.

Today was the first day of opening, so Lin Xiaoyue didn’t want to close early/

That’s why she decided to go back with Li Xiao to help.

After learning about the situation, Liu Shi also wanted to go back.

“I won’t be able to help if 1 stay here. It’s better to go back with you and help out.”

As a result, the two children also wanted to go back with them.

Lin Xiaoyue thought about it and agreed.

Then the family got onto the ox-cart and returned to Dashi Village.

Back home, Lin Xiaoyue assigned tasks to everyone.

Li Xiao set up two temporary stoves in the front yard, and Lin Xiaoyue went with Liu Shi to make cold cakes in the front yard.

Li Xiao and Xiao Qing were in charge of grinding rice and transporting the cold cakes.

The Liu family was very busy.

In the late afternoon, Lin Xiaoyue went to get Li Xiao and asked him to deliver the goods to town.

“Mom and I will continue to work at home. Deliver goods to Ruyi Restaurant and the shop.” Lin Xiaoyue said.

“The cart can hold up to 50 buckets of cold cakes in one trip. Fill it up.”

You don’t have to rush to come back. Check how much we need at night.”

Li Xiao nodded.

“Sure.”

Lin Xiaoyue gave Li Xiao a few more instructions before continuing to work.

She still had to make cold cakes, the more the better, making them now would make it easier at night.

Today was the opening, the sales volume would be much higher than usual. It proved that the purchasing power of the town residents was quite high.

At this rate, their house would become a factory.

Should she consider accepting an apprentice?

Lin Xiaoyue quickly interrupted herself. There was no rush for this matter.

Before dark, Li Xiao came back.

During the peak period, the shop’s business was indeed booming. Not only were there many scholars who came, there were also many customers who bought them to-go.

When Li Xiao left the shop, there were only 15 buckets of cold cake left.

“Then, bring another 20 buckets. If they can’t finish selling all of them, bring them back.”

“Okay.” Li Xiao quickly set off again.

After Li Xiao left, Lin Xiaoyue didn’t continue making cold cakes.

After calculating Wang Erya and Aunt Jiang’s wages, she asked them to go back.

Then, Lin Xiaoyue started making dinner with Liu Shi.

“After dinner, let’s continue making cold cakes and wait for Xiao’er to come back.” Liu Shi said to her daughter while lighting the fire.

“Tomorrow there will be fewer people buying cold cakes. Let’s make 6 pots later..”
